Royal Gametes, Batman!

One of my colleagues was called out of the country unexpectedly, so I am taking over for him in the lab. The last time this happened, I got to take his place at our satellite lab in sunny southern California. In January. And I got to drive his rental car - an awesome red convertible.

No such luck this time 'round. I'm still in northern Virginia. No beach. No 70 degree weather. No sporty Solara.

But I did get to spend the day in the lab, where I worked with the sperm of a real, live prince! Under the microscope, it looked much the same as all the other sperm I work with. Although, I almost thought I saw some of the cells holding tiny, jewelled scepters.
